    Gangnam Saero Dental ClinicFast partial correction in just 4 months

    The consultation was very kind and helpful, so I decided to go ahead right after. On the first day, they put in the upper braces, and after two weeks, I had the lower braces completed as well! I completely trust the doctor's credentials and appearance. I believe they will continue to take good care of me!

    Ceramic Dental ClinicFacial contouring + orthodontics ♥ Non-surgical beauty correction

    I found out about the ceramic dental clinic through Cashwalk. I decided to get braces right away after a friendly consultation, and it all started immediately. Dr. Kim Seon-min was in charge of my treatment, and she was so eager to make my smile as beautiful and perfect as possible that she put even more effort into my treatment than I did. I initially expected the process to take two years, but my teeth moved faster than I anticipated, so it seems like I finished in about a year and a half! I should have done this sooner; I am completely satisfied ^^

    Hello Dental Clinic★Ceramic Braces 199 Dual Jaw Effect

    I had a lot of concerns because the distance was far. I was worried because my body was suffering and the costs were high. When I compared it to the dentist near my house, the price difference was so significant that I decided to go to Seoul, and I am very satisfied with my decision. I feel more confident with my beautiful teeth.

    The consultation was very kind and thorough, with detailed examinations for the purpose of the consultation. I felt comfortable and well-informed during the consultation, even though it was very detailed compared to other hospitals. I haven't made a decision yet, though. Aside from transportation, everything was great! ^^

    Digital Dental Re-Correction that Addresses the Root Cause

    Positive Aspects The facility is very clean and luxurious. The reception area, consultation room, X-ray room, and treatment rooms are all well-separated, which I appreciated. It might seem like the flow is back and forth, but it felt like everything was progressing smoothly. It was also fascinating to see the researchers working behind the glass. I didn't have to wait much, so it felt like I was receiving treatment in a research lab. Somehow, I ended up getting the treatment and making the payment. The explanations were thorough, and the staff were kind, addressing any issues and encouraging me to ask more questions. I was there for my second orthodontic treatment, primarily considering clear aligners or just fixing my front teeth based on an event I saw. However, after the X-ray and consultation, I found out that my condition wasn't great. They weren't pushing for unnecessary treatments; the detailed explanations were all accurate. Negative Aspects I went thinking the event was for clear aligners at 60, but after the consultation, I learned that the quoted price was only for one arch (either upper or lower) based on a three-month period... I was slightly taken aback by the unexpected duration, cost, and treatment period discussed during the consultation. However, I believe that coming to Lucent for this treatment was a good choice.

    While I was looking around for orthodontic treatment, this place was the most friendly, and they showed me my dental condition with X-rays in a very thorough manner, which I liked the most. I guess it's necessary to visit several dental clinics. I decided to proceed with my orthodontic treatment here.

    Upon checking, it seems that the total cost for braces will include an additional monthly fee. I was told that special discount events are available and that some extra discounts might be possible. I decided to proceed with the orthodontic treatment, including whitening services.

    Clippy C Teeth Straightening

    A few years ago, due to teeth misalignment after a short period of braces, I couldn't smile well, it didn't look good aesthetically, and it became a complex for me, so I visited for re-treatment. The interior felt really clean and organized. All the staff were friendly, and while orthodontic treatment is possible, they advised me that achieving the desired results might be challenging.

    Ostem full implants! Same-day placement, weekend consultations

    It's been 10 years since I had my braces removed, and I'm still maintaining them well. Every time I visit, they check the overall condition of my teeth, so I'm taking good care of my dental health ^^ I'm really disappointed that Dr. Choi Jung-woo isn't the one treating me anymore ㅠㅠ He has been my dentist since I started going to Spring Dentistry, and I would love to see him again ㅎㅎ

    First of all, the clinic was right across from the subway station, which made it easy to find from the very beginning, and the staff were not only friendly but also very welcoming. What I appreciated the most was that the director personally examined my teeth and X-rays, explained the condition of my teeth, and detailed what could be corrected with orthodontics and the expected duration of the treatment. I was pleased to hear that partial orthodontics was possible, so I proceeded immediately!

3 frequently asked questions

  • I think my child's front teeth are protruding and spaced apart, so we might need orthodontics. Is there a consultation fee?

    Hello, this is Ceramic Dental Clinic. The period around the entrance to middle school is an excellent time to begin orthodontic treatment, as the speed of tooth movement is rapid and jaw growth is ongoing, allowing for efficient and predictable results. In particular, starting treatment early for issues such as protruding front teeth or gaps between teeth can help prevent secondary problems such as asymmetry or malocclusion. Our Ceramic Dental Clinic is operated by a board-certified orthodontist accredited by the Ministry of Health and Welfare, who provides personalized orthodontic treatment through 1:1 consultation, and we enhance long-term stability and satisfaction with a 10-year maintenance program after treatment. Thank you for your inquiry :)

  • Due to a traffic accident, my teeth have become misaligned, and the insurance company has provided a payment guarantee for orthodontic treatment. Is this possible?

    Hello.. I understand that you may have been very stressed both physically and mentally due to the car accident. If you provide the accident case number and the phone number of the insurance representative during your appointment, we can confirm and proceed with the treatment. Above all, please take good care of your health, and I hope to see you in good spirits.:)
